Confident Shots - Building Skill, Speed, Assurance

Description

You've completed NSSF FIRST SHOTS® and Northpointe Training's NEXT SHOTS. Now it's time to take the next step in your shooting journey!!

Are you ready to move beyond knowing the fundamentals and demonstrate what you can do with them??

CONFIDENT SHOTS is a focused, two hour, performance based handgun course designed for shooters who have already established a solid foundation in firearm safety, handling, and marksmanship and are ready to challenge themselves.

Please Note: This is NOT a beginner class.

Through structured live fire exercises, individual coaching, and measurable performance challenges, participants will work to improve accuracy, consistency, recoil management, and shooting efficiency while maintaining safe firearm handling habits.

You'll have opportunities to apply your skills under reasonable time constraints, identify areas for improvement, and evaluate your progress against clearly defined performance standards.

Participants who demonstrate consistent safe firearm handling, achieve a score of at least 80 on an NRA B-8 target at 10 yards, and successfully complete the designated capstone exercise without errors will earn their CONFIDENT SHOTS Certificate of Completion from Northpointe Training, LLC.

These performance requirements are designed to recognize demonstrated competence rather than attendance alone.

Whether you achieve the qualifying standards during this session or identify skills that need additional practice, you'll leave with valuable feedback, a clearer understanding of your current abilities, and practical direction for continued improvement.

Because true confidence isn't simply how comfortable you feel with a firearm. It's what you can consistently demonstrate while handling it safely and responsibly!!

Range fees, firearm rentals, and ammunition purchases are not included in the course registration fee. These charges are handled separately and paid directly to The Brigade Shooting Company at check in.

Topics Covered

CONFIDENT SHOTS builds upon established handgun fundamentals through structured live fire exercises, purposeful repetition, and individual coaching.

Participants will focus on:

• Reinforcing and refining fundamental pistol marksmanship skills
• Improving accuracy and consistency through proper grip, sight management, and trigger control
• Managing recoil and maintaining control for accurate follow up shots
• Developing smooth, controlled transitions between multiple targets
• Applying established shooting fundamentals under reasonable time constraints
• Strengthening dominant hand only and support hand only shooting skills
• Identifying and correcting common shooting errors through instructor feedback
• Evaluating marksmanship performance through the NRA B-8 target challenge at 10 yards
• Applying learned skills during a structured capstone exercise

Throughout the course, emphasis remains on safe firearm handling, accuracy, consistency, and maintaining control as performance expectations increase.

Our goal is to help students recognize their progress, identify opportunities for improvement, and continue developing confidence grounded in demonstrated competence.

Expectations and Outcomes

CONFIDENT SHOTS is designed to challenge participants to apply their existing marksmanship skills with greater accuracy, consistency, and control.

Throughout this two hour course, students can expect structured live fire exercises, individual coaching, constructive feedback, and opportunities to evaluate their performance against measurable standards.

Participants will have opportunities to demonstrate safe firearm handling, refine their shooting fundamentals, manage recoil, and maintain accuracy while working through increasingly challenging exercises.

To earn the CONFIDENT SHOTS Certificate of Completion from Northpointe Training, LLC, participants must successfully demonstrate all three requirements:

Consistent safe firearm handling throughout the course

A score of 80 or higher on the NRA B-8 target at 10 yards under the established qualification conditions

Successful completion of the designated capstone exercise without errors

Students who do not meet the qualification standards will still receive constructive feedback, an understanding of their current performance, and recommendations for continued practice and skill development.

Whether you achieve the qualifying standards during this session or identify areas requiring additional practice, you'll leave with valuable experience, measurable feedback, and a clearer understanding of your next steps.

Our goal is to help you develop the kind of confidence that comes from demonstrated competence, consistent practice, and a commitment to safe, responsible firearm handling!!

Because confidence isn't simply believing you can do something. It's knowing what you can consistently demonstrate!!
